Two Sunday morning news shows get face lift

politico.com — The Sunday morning news shows got a face lift this week with two reporters under 45 moving into anchor chairs. America's longest-running television show got a lot younger with the ascension of David Gregory, 38. CNN followed closely behind, announcing John King, 44, would host a new four-hour block of Sunday morning programming.

  • 0ceanic, on 12/09/2008, -0/+14I miss Tim Russert :(
  • dissolutionman, on 12/09/2008, -2/+13David Gregory is booooorrring.

    And why the gray hair? Dude's not even 40.
  • sheeplescareme, on 12/09/2008, -2/+12won't be watching "meet the press" at all anymore.
  • enrq, on 12/09/2008, -2/+9no more "meet the press" for me either... David Gregory is definitely not the man for the job.

    I always though Brian Williams was gonna get it and would have liked that better.
  • yunus, on 12/09/2008, -0/+6I had the same thought election night. He would have been spouting off numbers left and right and he is the only one who would understand them. I didn't understand them but he said them with such confidence and enthusiasm I never thought he was lying to me.
  • JackpotCity, on 12/09/2008, -1/+6Seems to be a shed load of mixed feelings over Gregory's appointment.
  • Nick217, on 12/09/2008, -0/+5he's like steve martin
  • spaceman84, on 12/09/2008, -3/+8Protip: They both suck.

    Gregory doesn't fact check and repeats way too much *****. He will not call anyone on their ***** in interviews the way Russert did. King lets his neo-conish opinions affect his interviews too much. Wolf Blitzer may be a windbag and a retard, but at least he doesn't let his own opinion color his interviews.
  • Yondelldude, on 12/10/2008, -0/+4As long as Charles Osgood stays anchor of Sunday Morning I'm happy.
  • RoyalPeach, on 12/09/2008, -0/+3Obviously he's trying to channel Anderson Cooper... That wonderful giggly man!
  • fndavid, on 12/10/2008, -1/+4Chuck Todd ftw. Hell, Bob Costas was even in the running.

    AND THEY PICK GREGORY?!?

    I was already pissed when they chose him to anchor election coverage.
  • Kratos76, on 12/10/2008, -0/+2I agree... he's a great guy, I really don't have any problem with him, he's smart, well experienced... he's just no Tim.
  • topaz82, on 12/09/2008, -0/+2mmmmm facelift.....
  • Kratos76, on 12/10/2008, -0/+2I thought that too, but Brian has too many other roles on NBC... I guess I can understand. I was rooting for Chuck Todd.
  • cmw72, on 12/09/2008, -2/+4I always thought Gregory was going to get the job. I think he'll be a suitable replacement.
  • fndavid, on 12/10/2008, -0/+2No I remember, their behavior during the RNC was unacceptable.

    My point is that there were a couple of better candidates than Gregory.
  • Kratos76, on 12/10/2008, -1/+3YES Chuck Todd!!! That's who I was rootin for.
  • mateo60, on 12/10/2008, -0/+2Hmm... church, so I can go listen to bigots talk about magic? No thanks.
  • jfreeman, on 12/10/2008, -1/+2Why do they both have gray hair? Does it matter if they're under 45 when no one can tell by looking? Is that /really/ a face lift?
  • CreateTheFuture, on 12/09/2008, -2/+3I'll give Gregory the benefit of doubt.
  • PabloIV, on 12/09/2008, -2/+3I'm 27 and have gray temples.
  • Kratos76, on 12/10/2008, -0/+1You must not remember there was a big scandal about MSNBC being too liberal and they had to have election coverage by someone other than Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews... Gregory was the third choice... he falls even in political opinion... it's all about appearances.
  • romeyinfc, on 12/10/2008, -0/+1I've grown to really appreciate Chuck Todd and was rooting for him as well. I heard Bob Costas was offered the job and turned it down. Too bad, he would have been awesome.
  • mongrel, on 12/10/2008, -1/+1I've always found him PAINFULLY boring, from any news appearances to the Today Show, he bogs everything down. I was very disappointed.
  • ngmcs8203, on 12/10/2008, -1/+1Really? Church? Where do you think you are?
  • mateo60, on 12/10/2008, -1/+1I thought David Gregory was great when he recently filled in for Tom Brokaw on Meet The Press. He seemed to be a little tougher on the guests, and I liked that.
  • mhmdkhamis, on 02/04/2009, -0/+0Gregory doesn't fact check and repeats way too much *****. He will not call anyone on their ***** in interviews the way Russert did. King lets his neo-conish opinions affect http://hotminiclip.com/Miniclip-17-Girls_Dress_up_ ... his interviews too much. Wolf Blitzer may be a windbag and a retard, but at least he doesn't let his own opinion color his interviews.

  • 2351159, on 02/12/2009, -0/+0No way Gregory is 38. I think they need to investigate his birth date. Lol.

  • akchrs, on 12/09/2008, -6/+5And people wonder why Foxnews has such high ratings.
  • boardthis, on 12/10/2008, -2/+1sunday morning news shows? where is NFL countdown on ESPN and the pregame shows from CBS and FOX? this article makes no sense whatsoever!
  • MrMischief20, on 12/10/2008, -1/+0David Gregory is 38?!
  • ShoggothDreams, on 12/10/2008, -2/+1As long as they do not replace any of the news anchors at The Onion, then I am happy. ;)
    (love Today Now!)
  • chicachoc, on 12/09/2008, -4/+2Sunday Morning?
    You mean that time between Saturday night binging and sunday football? People watch tv then?
  • ima007, on 12/09/2008, -5/+2Who cares?
  • IAmTheGuy, on 12/09/2008, -6/+2Luckily their core audience won't notice as they all have Alzheimer's.
